Upcoming changes.
Greetings, this will basically be the opposite of change logs. I'll be posting the changes I'm currently and soon to be working on that will be released in the next update. This will help anyone understand what's going on with the mod and what I'm doing.

Once each post's progress is finished, I'll be writing completed on the bottom before I release the live update. This is so the progress is easily transparent to all and helps me keep track

This will be an insane amount of work to do so the next update after this will deal with the last untouched parts for Fort Joy. After that update, Fort Joy will be finished and Reaper's Coast will be next.

To better future proof for players, I have overhauled two characters in Reapers Coast.
Gwydian Rince and Trader Haran have both been overhauled, via skill lists, trader inventory, weapons, class, visuals and level. These two are pretty useful NPC's so I wanted to make sure they hold their own until I'm finished with Fort Joy.

For now, I'll be out of town for a few days, maybe a week. So from the 10th, progress will be nonexistent until I get back. Well, that's partially false as I'll use that time to better plan things out.

Last thing, this update will be released once I'm finished with the Seekers camp. The update contains a huge fix and improvement for the 4 armorsets giftbag. Thanks to some black magic and a few slaughtered lambs, this giftbag is now a part of my mod and therefore a hard requirement to have. But, this allows yall to play with the overhauled giftbag content and not have any grid path problems that the giftbag caused. I'll see what I can do for the Sourcerous Sundries giftbag so that it stays compatible.

New fixes for a few incorrect factions some magisters had in the tutorial hold.

Gave the blacksmith new dialogue and trading inventory. Kept it very basic since it is the tutorial and he can't be looted so you can't take all of his trader loot.

Hiya, the infinite loading screen is finally fixed so people can actually play and enjoy the game.

I’ll have this update out in an hour which contains the fixed AI grids for the mod so the player won’t run into any broken or buggy pathing.

Unfortunately, somehow I have a multi dimensional traveler named Madek who believes himself to be a squad member at the start of the game. This update will fix his high level, stats, high skill list so he’s not OP.

From one of the users helping me understand this Madek issue, he seems to spawn when you use any unnatural path of getting to the beach start like quick start mods. By playing the starting tutorial naturally as the devs intended, he shouldn’t spawn and be a problem.

This update WILL require a new save game.

The next update, will be great deal of improved pathing and combat sighting. So when it comes to custom or new terrain or structures, I have to remake the line of sight that’s used for combat entirely and I’ve been
putting that on hold. So I’ll be combing through all of the current changes and fixing this problem.

There’s still a good amount of work left to do in the Fort Joy Ghetto like overhauling the leftover NPC’s, their tents and adding more detail around.

Next update will contain fixes for the grid pathing issues along with some general fixes around the area.

EDIT: I'm quite sure I found the problem causing the grid issues, only issue is to fix it properly. Will be working on this and talking to some vet modders about it

So I'm currently in the midst of working on an upcoming update to the mod that should fix these issues. It'll take a little longer as I have a LOT of ground to further finalize before I confidently push the old big red update button.


Only problem fixing this is, I had to redo the entire Fort Joy area with any finished progress. Oh well, I know now what I can and can't do and edit for this certain area.

Fort Joy has some major issues with being modded unlike the rest of the other levels of the game. Doesn't mean it can't be done, I just have to be even more careful.
